Cookies & Other Tracking Technologies: How We Use Them
Like most companies, we use cookies and other tracking technologies on our Services (referred to together from this point forward as “Cookies,” unless otherwise stated).

We use both session and persistent tracking technologies. Tracking technologies (e.g., Cookies) can either be persistent (i.e., they remain on your computer until you delete them) or temporary (i.e., they last only until you close your browser).
